What is Plating and What Can It Do For You?
What is Plating and What Can It Do For You?Plating is when a surface is covered by metal on a conductive surface. Traditional uses for plating are to decorate objects, for corrosion inhibition, to improve solderability, to harden, to improve wearability, to reduce friction, improve paint adhesion, and many other purposes. Along with plating, we are able to offer masking services. Masking services are offered for specific products only.
Cadmium Plating
Due to its high corrosion resistance, cadmium plating has become one of the most popular finishes. Our most popular items for cadmium plating are nuts, washers, timing mechanisms, magnets, shafts, bolts, threaded rods, and more! We offer cadmium plating in yellow and bright finishes.

The most common use of copper plating is for its heat treat mask. Copper plating is also known for its high conductivity. We have been completing copper plating on aircraft parts, shafts, bearings, flanges, and much more. Our copper throwing gives our products a smooth finish. Our Indianapolis Plating Company not only plates with copper, but we can also remove copper plating as well!

Hard Chrome Plating
Known for its durability and corrosion resistance, hard chrome is known for shafts, molds, aircraft components, dies, tooling, and centrifuge bowls. Our applications include build up service with wiring, racking, anode fabrication, and masking. Along with copper plating, we are able to remove hard chrome as well. The average turnaround time for hard chrome plating is typically 5 to 7 business days; however, with part preparation are a 2 to 3-day turnaround. Hard chrome is used mainly with industrial applications, including hydraulic products. Hard chrome is also known as “satin” chrome. This application is mainly used on surfaces that are exposed to heavy wear.

Passivation Plating
To increase the lifespan of your product, our Indianapolis Plating Company suggests passivation plating. This process begins with intense parts cleaning. After cleaning the parts, we submerse your part into a chemical bath. This bath will give your piece a protective film. Our most passivation plated parts are vibratory feeder systems, feeder bowls, vent systems, aircraft components, and more! No matter the size, are able to plate your parts.

Have you ever had a brittle layer left behind after nitriding? Our white layer removal beats the fragile layers. We have multiple tanks can handle both large and small parts. To provide the best quality treatments, the tanks are filled before every use. We are able to treat shafts, gears, rings, spacers, and more! We can strip copper before white layer removal, as well as blast and bake services shortly after removal.
